A strong magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck southeastern Taiwan early this morning, with the epicenter in Taitung County at a shallow depth of about 12 kilometers. Buildings swayed across Taipei and shaking was felt as far as Kaohsiung, with strong jolts reported near the epicenter. Taiwan’s National Fire Agency reported no damage to transport networks, and chipmaker TSMC said shaking did not reach the level requiring factory evacuations. Taiwan lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” where quakes are frequent, and the island still remembers the deadly April 2024 quake. <br /> <br />#TaiwanEarthquake #TaiwanQuake #Magnitude61 #TaitungEarthquake #TaipeiShaking #Kaohsiung #RingOfFire #BreakingNews #TaiwanNews #SeismicActivity #EarthquakeUpdate #TSMC #NationalFireAgency #TaiwanUpdates #StrongEarthquake #TaitungQuake #ShallowEarthquake #TaipeiNews<br /><br />~ED.194~HT.408~
